a/n: Just to let you guys know, I update fast during weekends as the story is pre-written during weekdays. I usually don't update during weekdays. ^^
“What’s up, Yi Jung?… Aren’t you finished yet? Your exhibit is in eleven hours.” Song Woo Bin commented as he stood by the door of Yi Jung pottery room. It was only eight in the morning but Woo Bin already came to visit Yi Jung, knowing full well that his friend would need his support. After all, it was Yi Jung’s first international exhibit. The international art experts would be coming over and he would be put under scrutiny and spotlight. It would also no doubt, bring out the name of Yi Jung’s father, who was also a well-known potter.
Yi Jung was still busy painting a queer looking pot which didn’t look like one of his usual pieces. The carving on the pot’s body was already an ingenious form of art. It took Yi Jung several days of slouched hand carving. And the painting further took his full concentration that he didn’t notice Woo Bin arriving by the room. It would take approximately five hours to dry the paint but Yi Jung decided that he would feature the pot in his exhibit. He was having doubts whether to include it or not but when he finally woke up that morning, he felt like he should include that particular piece into his gallery. It was a rather simple piece with soft hues covering its body as paint and soft wavy lines for its contours.
When he finally finished painting the pot, he stared at it and smiled. He was proud of how it had come to look like. It was a piece worthy of being included in his exhibit. He would name it… Hmm… Ga Eul? Nah… It would be a dead giveaway as to who was the inspiration behind the piece. He thought for a while and decided… He would name it ‘Jagiya’. On the other hand, Woo Bin, noticing that his friend was too occupied with his work, decided to come nearer and look at the pot which took all of his friend’s attention.
“Yi Jung-ah…” He called out. It was only then that Yi Jung noticed him.
“Oh… What’s up?” He asked.
Woo Bin took a glance at the newly painted pot then looked at Yi Jung. “This doesn’t look like your usual work.” He said.
Yi Jung stood up and smiled. “Yeah… Well, the inspiration wasn’t a usual one too…” He said mysteriously. “I would be glad to talk about it at the exhibit.” He added and washed his hands by the nearby sink.
-oOo-
Ga Eul was walking along the busy streets while holding a newspaper and a red marker at hand. There was a serious and determined expression on her face as she continued to read the newspaper in search of a new part-time job. The porridge shop was closed because Jan Di and the owner decided to attend Yi Jung’s exhibit. It was the perfect time for her to busy herself and look for another part-time job. She thought that she was too poor to have the luxury of daydreaming and sulking just because of heartbreak. She could not afford to waste even a minute.
“Whew… Tsk…” She was tired. There were beads of sweat on her forehead as she continued to walk. It was mid-afternoon and the sun was shining radiantly up in the sky, heightening the temperature and humidity of the air. She could have rested if she wanted. But the thing is, she refused to give up and stop. She might not be as strong as Jan Di, but she was definitely not helpless either.
Suddenly, as she was standing by the side of the street, a black BMW stopped in front of her, followed by another black car. Two men dressed in black suits came out of the second car and approached her. They suddenly bowed in front of her and greeted her. “Annyong hasaeyo, Miss Gae Eul. We have come to fetch you.” The man said.
“Fetch me?” Ga Eul asked in amazement. “Yah… You’re making a mistake… I’m looking for a part-time job.” She argued and explained at the same time.
“You’re already hired. A job has been prepared for you. Now, will you please come with us?” The man politely answered.
On Ga Eul’s face was an expression of pure distaste and annoyance. She blindly guessed who sent the men to fetch her but kept herself from speaking out loud. “Who sent you?” She bravely asked.
The rear window of the BMW suddenly lowered down and inside was the great So Yi Jung smiling radiantly at her. “I did. Now, get in.” He opened the door of the passenger’s seat, hoping that she would put up no fight which would only fall in vain. Clearly, So Yi Jung was disappointed as Ga Eul was more than eager to refuse.
“I’m sorry. I have to look for a part-time job. I don’t have time for this, Young Master Yi Jung.” She politely declined with a hint of relentless sarcasm evident on her tone and voice. She was surprised but quickly hid it in defense. Then, she turned her back on him and continued to walk away. Yi Jung’s unannounced appearance almost caused her to have involuntary spasms, if it weren’t for the fact that she stopped herself from falling prey to Yi Jung obviously magnetic charm.
Yi Jung rolled his eyes exasperatedly. “Follow her.” He closed the passenger seat and instructed the driver to trail Ga Eul. The BMW followed Ga Eul’s walking pace which earned her the curious glances and stares of the people around her. She lowered her head in humiliation but still continued to ignore Yi Jung.
“Ga Eul-ah… Didn’t you hear what my men told you? You’re already hired. You now have a part-time job.” Yi Jung said through the opened window of his car. Ga Eul’s refusal to his generous offer greatly puzzled Yi Jung. No woman has ever dared to refuse him before. And he has never begged anyone like what he was doing to Ga Eul.
Ga Eul rolled her eyes. “And what part time job might that be?” She asked, still continuing to walk despite being trailed by the black BMW at her side.
Yi Jung seemed to have lost a bit of his patience and went out of the car to walk by Ga Eul’s side. The car remained trailing them at a turtle’s pace though. “You’re hired as my Gallery Manager.” He said as he looked at her with a small smile.
“Gallery Manager? And what makes you think I’d accept that job?” She asked in annoyance. “Seriously, you rich brats always think that you could have everything your way. It’s annoying!” She loudly complained. “And stop following me!”
“You need a job, I can give you a job. I don’t need you lecturing me about being a rich brat. It’s not like it’s gonna change anything, right?” Yi Jung replied. There was a simple truth in his words that she was all the more annoyed at him again. He had a point and she hated it. And she hated it even more because she practically liked him despite being annoyed at him.
Unable to tolerate Yi Jung’s presence anymore, Ga Eul abruptly stopped walking and breathed out a deep sigh. Then, she stared intently at Yi Jung who stared back at her questioningly. “Young Master Yi Jung, please stop this nonsense. You don’t have any obligation to help me find a part time job. I know that I am indebted to you for helping me take revenge against Sun-Pyo but I hope you just leave me alone.” She said.
Yi jung was dumbfounded. She was right. Why was he doing this in the first place? She was just one ordinary commoner who worked her ass off to earn money. Why was he even bothering to convince the hard-headed girl to come his exhibit when she didn’t want to come? The answers never came to him though. He just felt a gut-feel telling him that Ga Eul must be at his exhibit.
Ga Eul walked past him after she said those words and Yi Jung only smiled bitterly at himself. He must be going crazy. “Take her.” Yi Jung finally ordered his men who immediately ran after Ga Eul and forcefully brought her inside the car despite her protests. “Yah. Be careful not to hurt her.” He instructed his men.
“Yah! So Yi Jung! Where are you taking me?!” Ga Eul’s voice rang loudly inside the car as she struggled. However, her voice was suddenly muffled when a white handkerchief with a dizzying chemical was covered on her nose, rendering his unconscious.
Yi Jung stared at Ga Eul’s face as she lay unconscious and frowned. ‘When did the great Casanova, So Yi Jung, relied on underhand tactics to take a girl?’ He thought. Surely, he must not have been stooping down to Jun-Pyo’s level just to bring a girl with him. The ridiculous fact was that, he was. “Aish…” Yi Jung muttered. It would be a disgrace to his reputation as a girl charmer if anyone knew that he kidnapped a girl just to bring her with him.
To Be Continued…
- - - - - - - - - -Preview of Chapter Three: “His Winning Piece”
‘Thank you for making me feel better.’ From Ga Eul. The note read.
Yi Jung stared at Ga Eul’s face again. Why did he even need the girl to be at his exhibit? The answer finally showed itself to him. He needed Ga Eul for show. Tonight, she was going to be his winning piece. Tonight, she was going to be his props in order to win the hearts of his audiences. He needed her because she was a charming piece of art. And she was going to be his pair to charm off his audiences. As cruel as it may sound, he needed Ga Eul, not because he was interested in her. Or… Is he?
-oOo-
a/n: Yosh! Yi Jung kidnapped Ga Eul! ^^ But the preview for Chapter 3 sounded kind of cruel though… What do you guys think?
